Comments (9)Marina, for poison ivy, wash thoroughly with Tecnu. It really helps. We have poison oak out here, but the rash is the same. There is quite a bit of it on the edge of our property near where I have been planting trees, so I am well aware of it! There is another product that is even better called Zanfel, but it is quite expensive. Worth it though, if you get bad poison ivy reactions. Sorry to wander off topic. I would love to see the cemetery some day! Rosefolly...See MoreHollywood Cemetery Yellow Rose . . . and her Offspring.
Comments (22)My Maigold has very little rebloom, altho I've never given it any help, either - - I don't fertilize it or deadhead. Most of my shots are dated in April. A couple of the HMF references (including the grand old man himself, Graham Stuart Thomas) mention scattered bloom later in the season. If it is Maigold, it's easy to ID by the scent. It has plenty of that linseed oil scent. Some people love the notes that scent gives to roses, but I can't seem to smell anything past the linseed oil. Interesting that a number of the HMF references describe it as good scent. I'd say it's distinctive. Good...not so much. The foliage is shiny and very healthy. And the canes are wickedly thorny. My plant is already in bloom, and it will bloom into June. Oh, I just found one of my photos dated late August. So I guess it does have scattered rebloom, onsie twosies. October, tho...I just don't know. The bloom color is very subtle and beautiful, I think, with a reddish wash over deep yellow, great veins of color, fading clear yellow. The effect is of apricot from a distance....See MoreAn award for rose preservation in Natchez
Comments (7)Duchesse, two good examples of this are the historic Lynchburg City Cemetery (Lynchburg, VA) and the historic Old Sacramento City Cemetery (Sacramento, CA). The Sacramento City Cemetery (see link) was neglected for decades. Most of the original plants were lost. The few that remain have been saved and propagated, but the glory of this garden is the collection of roses found in endangered cemeteries and old gardens throughout California. They're grown in the Cemetery, where they are protected, and can be studied. Many roses have been re-introduced to commerce from the Cemetery. One of the really great things about this place (aside from the beauty and the history) is that this is a place you can see Old Roses grown to their full size and beauty. It's eye-opening.

Comments (7)What a treat to turn on my laptop this morning and have this be my first view. Thank you so much. You're right, the pink rose in the last picture is absolutely gorgeous. I also hope very much someone can identify it. It's a perfect little rose. Warm regards, Ingrid...See Morefogrose
